Although telling our own stories has long been a human practice, in our contemporary world—with its inescapable increase of surveillance, social media, and reality TV—personal disclosure is ubiquitous. In fact, for many persons, especially the young, self-revelation has become an integral part of identity formation. This proliferation of declaration, testimony, confession and exposure has raised many difficult questions:
- How much self–disclosure is too much?
- Is there a discernible line between the public and the private?
- Do we need to choose between privacy and security?
- The following programs investigate identity and its many expressions. We hope you will join us in lively and thoughtful dialogue.
Here’s the full program: Investigating Identity Symposium PROGRAM[1][1]
